Have posted this to a couple of other forums, so why not post it here too?
Believe that the only thing that helps is to post as many times possible and hope that "arses" (asus) will egmit that there is something wrong with their board, a7v that is.
Anyway I have the same problems as mny others, using Win2k + A7V (kt133) + t-bird + GeForce = lockups and instablility.
Have tried almost everything, including BIOS upgrades/downgrades, tons of drivers, win2k settings, hotfixes and reg edits. Different settings in BIOS and even moving pci cards around.
Finally tried to run without anything exept with my GeForce installed...
But one thing I´ve noticed is that my computer is much stable without my SB Live and BIOS settings to Normal instead of optimal.
I know that people have suggested it, but is that what I HAVE TO DO??
I choose a Asus because of it´s known stability and performance. But now I have to "strangle and amputate" my computer just to make it run a couple of hours extra?
All the things that people here and others have tried it points to one thing! Incompability!! It´s not up to tomshardware or anandtech to solve It´s ASUS job to solve this issue!
The only thing I can think of is to post as many replies and topics around the internet and hope that Asus will realize that this is real...
And have anyone tried to contact Asus?
What I know, endconsumers is not that important to them...
Enough for now... =)
Excuse my poor english, but I do my best.
One thing I would like to add is that I´m using a Adaptec 19160 scsi-board, the SB Live I mentioned earlier, scsi-disks, "certified" PC133 memory, "K7 certified" 300W powersupply and extra cooling.
The point is that I´ve used this in a prior computer with Asus *brr* =) K7V and Athlon 900 without ANY problems.. Funny huh?
